udaas aankhon se aansu nahin nikalte hain — Bashir Badr

na tum hosh mein ho na ham hosh mein hain
chalo mai-kade mein vahin baat hogi

bhuul shaayad bahut baDi kar li
dil ne duniyaa se dosti kar li

ik shaam ke saae tale baiThe rahe vo der tak
aankhon se ki baatein bahut munh se kahaa kuchh bhi nahin

khudaa aise ehsaas kaa naam hai
rahe saamne aur dikhaai na de

hasin to aur hain lekin koi kahaan tujh saa
jo dil jalaae bahut phir bhi dilrubaa hi lage

khudaa ki itni baDi kaaenaat mein main ne
bas ek shakhs ko maangaa mujhe vahi na milaa

gham hai na ab khushi hai na ummid hai na yaas
sab se najaat paae zamaane guzar gae

jab ki pahlu se yaar uThtaa hai
dard be-ikhtiyaar uThtaa hai

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

ruke jis dam vo dam lene to sadr-e-anjuman bolin
hamaari nasl-e-aainda bhi ab aane hi vaali hai

adaa huaa hai jo ik lafz be-asaas na ho
miraa khudaa kahin meri tarah udaas na ho

tah kar chuke bisaat-e-gham-o-fikr-e-rozgaar
tab khaanqaah-e-ishq-o-mohabbat mein aae hain
